rust: pin-init: internal: move alignment check to `make_field_check`

Instead of having the reference creation serving dual-purpose as both for
let bindings and alignment check, detangle them so that the alignment check
is done explicitly in `make_field_check`. This is more robust against
refactors that may change the way let bindings are created.
